Indiana Republican election clerk distributes letter: Obama is 'young, black Adolf Hitler'

By GottaLaff

I'm happy to see that all that repudiation by Gramm-pa McCain is taking effect. See how civil his supporters have become? So docile, so kind, so inclusive:

A Republican county election clerk distributed copies of an apparent chain letter referring to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama as a ‘‘young, black Adolf Hitler’’ to two employees but later told police she intended it to be a joke.
I've seen better senses of humor at cock fights.

The employees, who had voted for Obama in Indiana’s Democratic primary, discovered the letters at their desks after returning from Labor Day weekend, Deputy Sheriff Doug Cox said in a police report made public this week.

One of the workers complained, and surveillance video showed Johnson County Clerk Jill Jackson placing an item one worker’s desk at 5:27 p.m. on the Friday of Labor Day weekend, Cox said. [...]

Jackson told police she had intended to speak with the workers upon returning to work but forgot.

"D'oh! I just exhibited the worst kind of bigotry, passed it off as a sick, demented joke, and that pesky apology slipped what's left of my vile, filthy, deranged, shriveled little mind."

The letter does not mention Obama by name but makes references to his ties to a Chicago church whose pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, adheres to black liberation theology. It is heavy with racial references, criticizing the candidate’s parentage with such comments as, ‘‘He is proud of his ’African heritage’ (a father who got a white girl pregnant and deserted her)’’ and asking, ‘‘Where is the pride in his ’White heritage?’’’
I'm sure Obama's ailing grandmother would appreciate the sentiments.

The unsigned letter urges readers to send it to everyone they know.

‘‘The U.S. citizens are just not ready to give up their country to this young, black 'Adolf Hitler’ with a smile, poor direction and absolutely no experience!’’ it said.

I can't write any more. Feel free to say anything you want-- anything-- in Comments.
